I have been on the quest for the perfect carry on bags for years. Something I can use but the Husband won’t look out of place toting round the airport on my behalf.

Recently on my travels I have been absolutely LOVING this black twin pocket holdall (£24.99) from New Look Mens.

Large and sturdy, you can carry it via grab handles or a long strap and with it flat bottom and sides it sits perfectly on top of your suitcase. An approved cabin size bag, it is also the perfect size for trains and even the dinkiest of car boots – as I too have recently found out!

The plain black keeps it chic and stylish so I can confidently take it from a work trip to a weekend away with friends and the canvas fabric forgives a lot of overstuffed bag sins!

Keep an eye out for a post coming soon on what’s in my hand luggage for my most recent trip abroad.
